0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and do some interviews and step in front of the camera.

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.720

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it feels great. The guy has been welcoming me

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in every day. It's been getting more and more comfortable

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>as we play more and more together. We're just trying

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to get the communication around the back back in so

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>that we are on the same page and we could

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>play winning football and lately a defense, I feel like

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>we've been doing a pretty good job, you know, just

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep working on the things we can work on,

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>like tackling communication, like I said, fitting fitting the right gaps,

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like it's always being for improvement and progression.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like we're doing a good.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Job and you've just been kind of crushing it. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you look at you have the most snaps in the

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>last game. How does it feel to be just like

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>locked in the way that you are this early on

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.239
<v Speaker 1>in your careerly NFL.

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I kind of kind of thanked BEMA for that

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.399
<v Speaker 2>because I had to be locked in my freshman year yep,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>freshman year going into BEMA, I got a chance to

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>play early after a Duke game. I started the next game.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Duke was the first game. I called the interception in

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>that game, but I came in like late in the game,

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>so it wasn't It was really like garbage minutes, and

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>then the following game I had to start, which was

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>like kind of like nerve wrecking because I was a

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>freshman and here I am at the best college starting

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>right away, and it was kind of nerve wrecking. But

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>it's been fun.

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.640

<v Speaker 2>I'm the guy you can ask, even if I am

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>a rookie. Try to cheat myself like I'm a vet

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 2>because next year you're already a VET in your second year.

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 2>And it's kind of crazy. How how life, How life goes, Yeah,

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it comes at you very fast. And people have been

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 2>telling me Mike. I talked to Mike a lot. Mike

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 2>t twelve year vet in the end of the league.

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I talked to him a lot, and he's he's been

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>on me, telling me not a Rocky anymore. Even though

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I still got these rookie duties on me. You go

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 2>to wake games, I gotta bring bunt cakes. I gotta

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 2>do all. Yeah, I gotta bring the bunt cakes. Wing stop. Yeah.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 2>So even though I'm not, I'm not looking at as

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a rookie anymore, I still got those ricky duties to do.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Is there a more popular bunt cake for me? Sprinkles,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a big one, right, Yeah.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>The confetti, Yeah, the confetti is definitely a big hit.

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 2>But my favorite is shrawberries and cream.

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I only just recently had it for the first time.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>I did a I like the carrot cake and then

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a red velvet.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. My first time was Avenue when I got.

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a thing of beauty. Certainly they love it. What

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>do you do when you are having a rough day?

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yes, you are positive, You're very smiley. That

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>is your thing. But we all have dates and we're

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of down on the dump, so you got to

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>pick yourself up a little bit. What do you do

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in those moments?

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Usually it's like play the game with my friends

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>like from back home, or even you can even play

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 2>the game with teammates. That's that's kind of very soothing

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>because if you're on the mic, you guys talk about

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>life while you're playing the game. You know, you got

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 2>things you talk about in the party where people just

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>go on tell the story and you guys are all laughing.

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>It's taking you back to the old days when getting together.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, just kind of talking to friends and family

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>is a big thing for me.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Who on the team is is your guide that you

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>can kind of like shoot the breeze with the most

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>moments like.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 2>That, probably like h D j Ivy, Yeah, j Ivy

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>from h he's from Florida as well. He's from Miami

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 2>from for a Lot of Death. So we're not too

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 2>far not too far apart. You're actually training together two

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>of the same trainer on field trainer goldfeet. Yeh.

0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>You credit your family a lot for this positivity and

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>they kind of helped you prepare for the mental side

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of this game. How did they help you with all that?

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just from a kid growing up, my dad always

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>either coaching me, my mom being there taking the stats

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>of the game, coaching or coaching from the from the

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>bench or from the crowd. I used to didn't. I

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't like that when she would be in the crowd

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm on the court or I'm on the field

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and she's kind of like telling me what to do.

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like, Mom, I got it, you know, Like yeah,

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But but them being on me, harping on me. My

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>dad working me early as a kid, making me stay

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>extra hours, making me stay the extra whether it was

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>because I was a big basketball guy when I was young.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 2>That probably was my favorite sport growing up, but just

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>staying after him, having me do make ten free throws

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 2>in a row before we leave. It was something I

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>used to cry about. But then I realized he was

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>only doing it for the for the betterment of me,

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and as we grew up, he helped me and my

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>mom helped me. My brother was always very supportive as well. Yeah,

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 2>he played football and went to college and played at

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Illinois State. Now he's in Kansas, living in Kansas, in

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bad City, Kansas City. Yeah, yeah, I still love him,

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, just just them having their support. Yeah, my

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>entire life. Even my aunties, my cousins, they all very supportive.

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just knowing that they're they're watching, always watching. They

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 2>always have my back and they're they're going to support

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>me no matter what. It kind of helped me throughout

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>my life.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny. I was just watching the Beckham documentary

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>not long ago when he was trying about how his

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>dad to keep him on the field, and he was like,

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, crying, the weather would be bad. He's out

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>there playing soccer, he's crying, Like I think it maybe

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>gave him a bit of a weird relationship with his dad.

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>But to have the parent that does push you like that,

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>even those times you said, like you're crying through it.

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to go do it, but sometimes that

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>is the thing that you need to really like walk

0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 1>into being that next level athlete.

0:12:59.000 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's crazy to think of like that, that

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>level of tapping into those things. Okay, handshakes, You've got

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a handshake with lots of guys on the team. Is

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this true? This was my design? I know everything. I

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>am an internet sleuth.

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Me I got I got a lot of handshakes.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I like doing all the research and like listening to

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the other interviews and seeing what other kind of things

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you've been up to. What is the art of the handshake?

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>How do you come up with the good handshake?

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's kind of like off the It's

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of like off the doom, off the mines. Yeah, yeah,

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean usually usually it came some of ours came

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 2>from my Rookie Talent Show?

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>What did you do for yours?

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I dance but I got booed for it? But then

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 2>they want to make a handshake with me doing the

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>dance that I was doing that I got booed for.

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.959
<v Speaker 1>Why would they do you for the dance? Why was

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>gitting on the dance?

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm no clue. And I have a handshake with Joe

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Joe Mixed and with Mike Hilton where I do the

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>dance that I was doing in the Rookie Talent Show

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that I got booed for.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow, It's is crazy because it.

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>It feels like it feels like they like it.

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a love hate relationship. We develop a

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>little handshake right like right off the dome?

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>What would we right now?

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's do you do it based off of the person?

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Do I have to give you a certain like energy

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>or vibe for you to.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of yeah, now, yeah for sure. But yeah

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I like cunk and calamari, but any other seafood I

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 2>could like try it, but I can't have like a

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 2>whole dish.

<v Speaker 2>he was he was very he was very like funny

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 2>but corny. It was like he'll say a joke like

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 2>that jokes. Yeah, he'll say a joke and it's like, Okay,

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 2>he wants us to laugh, so let's laugh, guys. Yeah,

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.840

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 2>southern jokes because he's from West Virginia, so he'll use

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:26.440

<v Speaker 1>That's what he knows. That's his comfort zone.

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was funny, but like, come on, you gotta

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>grow up with the generations, learn some new ones fair enough,

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.960

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:46.360
<v Speaker 2>you can't you can't guard nobody party, Misterry. I think

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 2>miss Terry can catch.

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 1>The ball on them.

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I think miss miss Terry is more athletic.

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you've heard it here, everybody. I like that.

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:57.600

<v Speaker 1>Bucket. Okay, you talked about the dancing. You did the

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>dancing for the Rookie Talent Show. There was also a

<v Speaker 1>video of you at Alabama dancing. You've got some good moves,

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know why people were laughing at the

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>dancing because it seemed like you're onto something. Do you

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>think that you could choreograph something for the Bengals?

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we get some being guys and I can choreograph whatever.

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:28.200

<v Speaker 2>do we have a dance off, actually we go against

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals.

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, would you form in your group if you had

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to have, like, you know, a traditional boy band dance off,

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>which that's like what five dudes usually?

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:39.800

<v Speaker 2>dvre out for real, I'll go, look me, how many

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:53.639

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love it. I wish we had space to

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>put a dance together here, but we got a handshake

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.119
<v Speaker 1>so they don't need to go farther than that. I

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.479
<v Speaker 1>love it. There's a real closeness with the rookies, it seems.

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Talk to me a little bit about that relationship of

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys all being able to come in here together.

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like kind of day one, like walking in,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 2>just seeing the seeing the vets. It is kind of

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>like funny to see, like people even be watching when

<v Speaker 2>allowing you to be you be comfortable. It was just

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 2>it was just fun and it was like pleasing to

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>the I because it's like, dang, you think these guys

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.479
<v Speaker 2>would be individuals, but they're not. They're really team players

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and at the end of the day, they're just they're

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 2>one of you, and you got to realize that that

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.480

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 2>they make you feel that way as well. They try

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to feel They try to make it seem like they're

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 2>not bigger than you, and they try to make us

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 2>feel comfortable.

<v Speaker 1>mean seems very stressful, honestly.

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.879

<v Speaker 1>Who had the biggest rookie mistake of the year so far?

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Rookie mistake of the year so far? I mean, I

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>mean I think we all, I mean yeah, we all did.

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.199
<v Speaker 2>It kind of happened at the same time. We are me,

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 2>DJ and DJ ME, Ivy and Draco. We kind of

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>forgot to get the dB rooms from Snacks.

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Who had the worst talent show? I don't think it

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 1>was you.

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.199

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Jayalen Moody's not here, Jayleen Jalen Moody. Out of the

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>ones who was here, though, I'll probably say Ivy and Draco.

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>What do those guys they did.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:33.920

<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yes, yeah.

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:38.720

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 2>really represent like, Yeah, they're just up there going through

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the motions.

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:46.160
<v Speaker 1>No emotion attached to it. You got to be invested

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 1>in talent show, just going through the motions. Who has

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.399

<v Speaker 2>too basic. He just relies on his good looks. Well, yeah,

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 2>his good looks. He thinks he's a good looking man,

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 2>so you just have to put on anything for real.

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Who's got the best outfits?

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:22.320
